Hi, this is a very early update, cuz I had to write this! It's been on my mind since yesterday! Here's the chapter!
James, Lily and Sirius watched Remus and Tonks walk down to the lake silently.
"Remus, do you mind waiting a minute? I forgot something in the hospital wing," said Tonks, and she dashed off before he even replied.
The Marauders and Marauderette decided to watch Tonks. She ran into Hogwarts, and sat down on the stone-cold bench.
"Sirius, Lily, James," she murmured. "If you're up there together, please help me. Help Remus."
Suddenly, they glowed gold. Their eyes and hair shimmered gold.
"What's happening?" asked Sirius, trying to swipe the gold off his arms.
"She prayed to you. Don't worry Sirius, you'll turn back to your normal color soon," said a voice from behind them. They whipped around and saw Dumbledore, looking at least fifty years younger.
"Dumbledore!" All three of them gasped.
"In the flesh." He smiled.
"What're you doing here?" asked James.
"I came to visit. I've gained the power to go back and forth between different heavens," said Dumbledore.
"Awesome," said Sirius. "I'd definitely visit my dear mother and give a few choice words."
"Not if I restrain you," said James. "I'm sorry though, Dumbledore. I can't believe Snape betrayed you."
"He didn't. I told him to kill me. He was only following my orders," said Dumbledore, to everyone's shock.
"I knew he wouldn't betray you," said Lily.
"Yes, yes. Well, what are we waiting for? I want to see Remus and Tonks get together," Dumbledore said, and looked down.
Tonks ran back to the lake, where Remus had stood for five minutes.
"Are you alright, Dora? Did you find what you were looking for?" he asked.
"Uh, yeah," she stammered. "Anyway, I'm sorry if I embarrassed you at the hospital wing. I didn't mean to. It's just, Fleur still wants to marry Bill, and there's a chance he could be a werewolf, so our cases ARE the same."
"Greyback scratched Bill when he was a human, therefore Bill will not be a werewolf, and the cases are completely different," Remus said calmly. "He won't transform on the full moon. He may just have heightened senses or a taste for rare meat. That's it. He won't turn into a monster who can kill every month. I can. That's why we can't be together."
"If you take the Wolfsbane-" Tonks started.
"It doesn't matter if I take the bloody Wolfsbane!" Remus shouted, losing his calmness. Lily was surprised. It was rare that Remus swore. "I can still hurt you, and you'll end up dead like James, Lily and Sirius!"
"What? He can't think that because we cared for him that we're dead! No, that's complete and utter-" James yelled, but was cut off by Dumbledore.
"That's exactly what he thinks," he said.
"Bull!" Sirius shouted. "I really ought to find a way to hex him!"
"You'll do no such thing!" said Lily. "You can't blame him for that!"
"They didn't die because of you. They died because of the war, because of Voldemort, but definitely not you," said Tonks, reaching out to touch his hand. "Please. We'll be careful. I'll be careful."
"Too old," he muttered.
"Only thirteen years. At least you weren't fifty when I was born!"
"I could be your father."
"Yup, some father you'd be at thirteen bloody years old!" Tonks screeched. "Give us a chance Remus!"
"I'm poor."
"I'm an Auror, I make plenty of money, enough for the two of us to live off of. And don't you dare pull the dangerous card, because we all know that's not true! I don't care if you're a werewolf! I don't care if people hate me because of you! You've got to see that I don't care and I won't ever bloody care!" She fell onto the ground, crying.
"Dramatic," Sirius said. Lily slapped his arm.
"Seriously Sirius? You've got no ounce of sympathy!" Lily said, glaring at him.
"Are you sure you don't care?" asked Remus nervously. "What if you wake up one day and realize you made the worst mistake of your life by being with a werewolf?"
"That's never going to happen," she said. She stood up and looked him straight in the eye. "Do you love me? Truly? I'll know if you really love me if you accept this."
She jumped on him and they both fell to the ground. She kissed him passionately, while he tried to turn away from her. But eventually, he gave in and kissed her back. He finally accepted her love.
"Go Tonks, my forward little cousin!" said Sirius.
"Love prevails," Dumbledore sighed contently.
"Maybe we should give them their privacy," suggested Lily. James pouted. The scene shifted to Harry and Ginny.
"Did you know that they're together?" asked Dumbledore.
"They are? Since when?" James burst out.
"For two months," he replied.
"Sirius, I blame you for not knowing this, because we constantly had to watch Tonks," said James.
"Whatever." Sirius waved his hand to dismiss the conversation. "Let's watch."
"Ginny, we need to break up," said Harry.
"Why?" she asked.
"Because, Voldemort might come after you if he finds out that we're together. But I promise, after the war, I'll come back to you," Harry said.
"I know, even if this is for some stupid and noble reason. But I'll wait. I'll wait till the end," Ginny assured him. They kissed one last time before they parted ways.
"Stupid and noble reason, huh?" Lily laughed. "Well, that's official. Can't wait till she's Ginny Potter."
So, what'd ya think? Please review!
